Goodridge, who coaches Hartpury’s Elite Under-18s as well as the first team, said: “It’s great to come into work on Monday morning with a win and a bonus point, but then we have to review things objectively and let the players know where we need to improve.

“In many ways it’s easier to be more critical after a win – it’s often easier for the players to take the analysis on board and react to it.

“We’re still learning in every match, so it is really good to have that first win under our belt.

“The performance wasn’t quite where we wanted it to be, but then we’re always going to want improve our performance – we will be learning week on week, in every game.”
